2. Kurdish history
The Kurds are an ethnic group who have historically inhabited the
mountainous areas to the south
of Caucasus (Zagros and Taurus mountain ranges), a geographical area
collectively referred to as Kurdistan. Most Kurds speak an Indo-
European language belonging to the Iranian branch.
There are various hypotheses as to predecessor populations of the
Kurds, such as the Carduchoi of Classical Antiquity. The earliest known
Kurdish dynasties under Islamic rule (10th to 12th centuries) are
the Hasanwayhids, the Marwanids, the Shaddadids, followed by
the Ayyubid dynasty founded by Saladin. The Battle of Chaldiran of
1514 is an important turning point in Kurdish history, marking the
alliance of Kurds with the Ottomans. TheSharafnameh of 1597 is the
first account of Kurdish history. Kurdish history in the 20th century is
marked by a rising sense of Kurdish nationhood focussed on the goal of
an independent Kurdistan as scheduled by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920.
